i'm currently 3-2 in my league which is good enough for 2nd place. i've been on a 2 game losing streak. I feel as if I depended too much on footballguys.com and although they have given good advice, I feel the need for more opinions. Here is how footballguys.com says my lineup should be:
QB P. Rivers vs NE
RB M. Barber @ Ari
RB W. McGahee @ Ind
WR P. Burress @ Cle
WR L. Moore vs. Oak
WR C. Johnson @ Min
TE C. Cooley vs. StL
The kicker and defense I don't have backups for. Here is who is on the bench:
QB J. O'Sullivan vs. Phi
RB D. Williams @ TB
RB M. Jones-Drew @ Den
WR A. Randle El vs. StL
WR D. Branch vs. GB
WR R. Meachem vs. Oak
WR B. Berrian vs. Det
My issues are obviously who to start at wr and rb. I've got alot of great choices. I benched williams last week and he lit it up against the chiefs w/ 3 TDs. Jones-Drew hasnt done that well this season but for some reason I always want to start him. Please feel free to voice your opinions and help me out. Thanks in advance. HTTR!

if willis is 100% healthy, id probably start him against the colts, cuz they are giving up a lot of rushing yards. bit i dont think he will be. now denver, they are giving up a ton of rush yards too. so mjd could be a good start there.
not sure id change any of your WRs.

Berrian has an awesome matchup against the awful Lions D, I would bench Moore over him this week. your RB's will be ok, Willis McGahee will be sharing carries with Mclain but Indy's D struggled against Houston.
Both your QB's have a tough matchup this week too, Rivers production has dropped big time and there's a chance that Chambers might not play this week. New England's pass defense is giving up on average 175.2 pass yards per game and has allowed one quarterback to top 225 yards.
good luck this week bro, im dealing with BYE weeks this week..:doh:

word is that Willis is getting more and more carries and should see somewhere around 20 this week. (full disclosure, I am a Willis owner in a $$ league, so yes, I am hopeful of this coming to fruition)
Tampa ain't KC
Moore and Berrian are a coin flip. Whichever one your gut tells you to go with, choose the opposite, lol
if you want to wing it w/something, I'd look at O'Sully in place of Rivers.

was that word from Willis??? :silly::silly::silly:
While the Ravens continue to list Willis McGahee as the club's starting running back, Le'Ron McClain is in reality the featured back in Baltimore. McClain is the team leader in rushes, rushing yards and rushing touchdowns while McGahee continues to be hobbled by various injuries. This week McClain will face off with a porous Indianapolis run defense that has permitted 189 rushing yards per game this season. This guy is one of the better number three fantasy backs in the game and should be a serviceable starter in Week 6.

i think im going to go with mcgahee vs that horrible colts run defense. I'll probably go with berrian and burress. Im still undecided on calvin johnson. I have a feeling Randle El is going to have a good game, but something tells me not to bench johnson.
